AD6DM™ Hamdom Thoughts

Episode 33: KC7MSU Dan likes Summits on the Air, and just as well because there are a lot of great peaks in Arizona. He's the co-host of the YouTube series All Portable Discussion Zone, and has been a previous guest on one of our Round Table episodes. We hear some of Dan's ham story, discuss some benefits of offgrid power and solar, and thoughts on building momentum in this hobby.

Thoughts on generosity and how it is sometimes at odds with self-reliance and independence in our ham radio preparedness mindset. I refer to the Radical Generosity video by Amalya (Ami) Campbell, and discuss happiness, some essential aspects of ham radio, and ways we can express sharing and thanks to the community. I welcome your comments via Anchor Message!

Steve runs a very active YouTube channel about vintage electronics and ham radio, and is the organizer of Monday Night Ham Radio and Thursday Night Ham Radio.
